Our Producers

OUR CERAMIC PRODUCER MARIO

Every company can undoubtedly look back on the one relevant cooperation that has accompanied and shaped the path of individual development. In our case, it is the cooperation with Mario.

Mario grew up in a pottery family. At the beginning of onomao he had just taken over the management of the family business when we started looking for a manufacturer to found onomao.

THE CLASSIC CERAMIC MANUFACTORY

In the course of developing our second tableware collection CLASSIC we went in search of another ceramic manufacturer. We landed at a family business in the rolling hills behind Porto. The family looks back on a long ceramic tradition. Working with clay has been consistently passed down and specialized from generation to generation.

Our CLASSIC collection is tamped by hand before being cleaned and refined after a drying process to be glazed before firing. Creative hand-painting is part of the manufacturer's hobbyhorse. Thus CLASSIC gets her stripes missed in loving handwork in the small studio.

RECYCLED GLASS FROM SPAIN

For years we have been dreaming of glasses made of recycled glass. However, searching for a suitable glassblowing company was more complicated than we had hoped. Already two years ago, we visited several glassblowing companies in Portugal. Although we were enthusiastic about the craftsmanship, none of the manufacturers wanted to produce glasses from recycled glass, which was and is a prerequisite for us.

In 2021, we found what we were looking for in Spain in the Alicante region. A small family business with about five employees and a lot of experience should fit our expectations. The glassblowing company has existed for a good 30 years. The company is run by a glass professional. In addition, his daughter and her partner work there. The size of the team was very appealing to us. So together, we were able to develop our first glass collection from recycled glass.
